Must. Not. Read. Yet.
Must. Write. Own. Apocafic.
I'm back to hating my own apocafic, unfortunately, and really, really wanting to start over again. Theoretically, I could easily write 1,000 words as a new thing, but I don't want to quit the story I am writing - partly because I do actually love the parts of it that are still in my head, and partly because I don't want to write something throw-away for this ficathon.
But then again, often when I do stop trying to force myself to write a story that just isn't working, and write something completely new, it turns out to be a much better thing.
Aaaaaaaargh.
On a completely other note: For those in the Northern hemisphere, the Perseid meteorite shower should be at it's most visible tonight (barring clouds). NASA estimate 1 to 2 'shooting stars' per minute at the shower's height (the very early hours of Monday morning). Should be visible to the naked eye (well, the naked eye with glasses, in my case, but you know what I mean). I'm going to go look, and yes, I'm going to be thinking of A Hundred Days. :)

And Jack really shouldn't have signed up for that ficathon, should he?
My header is a photo I took of the towers of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. I thought it looked very looming. :)
Although I *am* done with sjficathon. Thank goodness.
When I'm done, I'm going to revel in all the Sam/Jack fic. Yay!
You have a lot more willpower than I do, though.
Still, I thought of Stargate on my morning walk, which is always good. Plus, I then had time for a really AWESOME breakfast--my favorite meal of the day, and so much better when one has time to enjoy a cup of mint tea. :-D
Oh, apparently the show carries on for another few nights, so you still could get to see them, possibly. But it's possibly not worth standing around in the dark for a few hours to see one or two pale meteors. Honestly, you'd think they could organise these things for a Saturday. ;)
Hmmm...if I happen to be up and outside my town, I may attempt to see some more. Read: not going to happen. A good idea, nonetheless.
I myself watched Upgrades, D&C, and WoO last night. WoO is still just so very hilarious. And I still want to learn how to juggle. I have hope. If Jack can learn Latin...
And the whole town seems a little blase about those meteors. A third of them stay behind, despite the exploding meteors already hitting the ground. D'oh.
The only thing I didn't like about Laira was the "Give me a child" bit. Just, ew, no. Creepy.
And, hah, I love those three eps, so much. Unfortunately, the learning Latin was done by a fictional character. I'd learn to juggle if RDA would teach me - or Chris Judge, for that matter. Mmm...
I'd like to watch a version of Upgrades with the bits from D&C cut in. Wouldn't fit the tone of the rest of it, but it'd be interesting to see it in context.
I wish I could write more missing-moment type things. My brain just doesn't work that way most of the time.
I have to learn to juggle. HAVE to. I would totally learn enough Latin to get me through that if I were stuck in an endless time loop. Ten hours minus however long it took to convince everyone is not a lot of time. It would get annoying REALLY fast.
Yeah, women wanting teh secks for babies is not good--not like that, anyway. (I just realized how that sounded, and ouch, but I think you know what I mean). Maybe that would have solved a lot for me, actually. Hmmm...yeah, if it were just about sex, it's not nearly as weird in terms of the characters/narrative.
You're feeling compelled to learn to juggle, huh? Whyyyyyy?
I started to write a few missing moment bits. I figured if they'd so thoroughly forgotten that bit that it didn't occur to them to think, "Oh, that's what the za'tarc machine is detecting!" until the last possible moment, then there had to be other bits too, to lead up to it. Practice stuff, things they omitted because no one puts everything in their report, right...? And Hammond doesn't need to know everything...?
But then I got bored, and stopped. Besides, Rachel500 on ff.net is kind of doing it for me, and I'd much rather read it. :)
Rachel500...*makes note*
Jack is so absolutely clueless in that scene. Sam's all--"We left something out." And then has to spell it out for him. Poor Sam. So awkward.
But can you imagine their reports if they put everything in? "Held Jack's hand. Well, not really. It was to cross a stream! Honest!"
That reminds me, I should recc them on Redial.
Why is it so hard to get onto screen/paper when it's always so clear and cool in your head? This is true regardless of ficathon fic or no. Heh.
Grr. Silly muse. :-)
And then the next day, it was cloudy, so no more shower, but there was this awesome lightning storm going on.
